Fall Into Autumn Challenge - Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins

Hello everyone!

Sorry again for the lack of posting. My uni timetable is absolutly crazy at the minute and I feel so bad for not posting too often, I think I'll start scheduling some posts so that I actually get some posts up for you all :) Anyway, today I have two themes from the Fall Into Autumn Challenge to show off! 

First up is Autumn Leaves, now this idea looked so much better in my head and it turned out absolutely awful. I'm actually quite embarrassed to show you all but maybe it'll help me learn :P

 

For these nails I knew I wouldn't be able to paint little tiny leaves on my nails so i thought I'd base my nail art around the colours of autumn leaves instead.

From top to bottom I used - Three coats of Jesse's Girl Beauty Guru, Two Coats of China Glaze Riveting, Two coats of OPI Chopsticking To My Story & Three coats of China Glaze Harvest Moon. I then dipped the tip of each nail into a pot of glitter from KKCentreHK.

The next theme I have to show you all is Pumpkins. I had great fun creating this nail art. Here's how it turned out...

 For these nails I used three coats of China Glaze Riveting for the base on all nails, I the used Revlon Lunar and a small nail art brush to create the faces and OPI Who The Shrek Are You? for the stalks.

I really love how these came out. I knew when I saw pumpkins on the challenge list that I wanted to create them as tips and have some really cute little faces on them. 

I hope everyone had a really nice Halloween yesterday!

KKCenterHK Water Decal Review

Hello everyone :)

Today I have another review for KKCenterHK nail art water decals. This time when I was contacted by the company I choose some super cute water decals with cats on! Here's the link to them: http://www.kkcenterhk.com/p5209/N.NAIL-Water-Decals-Nail-Art-WDBLE927/product_info.html

I decided to use them with a complimentary colour that matched the decals...

 For these nails I used one coat of OPI Pink Flamenco as the base colour. This pink is super bright and such a beautiful colour for summer, and with it only taking one coat what's not to love about it? :P I then used one coat of OPI I Lily Love You over the top. This glitter/flakie polish was what started my polish obsession, it was my first OPI polish and I instantly fell in love :)

The water decals are so simple and easy to apply to the nail. The decals come in one sheet, the sheet contains twenty decals and they are priced at $2.82, which obviously is a great price. I cut out the decal I wanted to use from the sheet and removed the plastic from the top, I then run some water over the decal for a few seconds. This allows the decal to slide away from the backing and then I place it onto my nail in the required position and seal with topcoat. the whole process takes about thirty seconds. These decals are great to spice up a regular mani or just to use if you want something quick and easy.

KKCenterHK offer a wide variety of nail art products as well as fake eyelashes and other stuff, check out their website, it's amazing! Also, don't forget about the 10% off discount code if you order, just enter: charlottes-nails at the checkout :)

KKCenterHK Nail Decal Review

Hello everyone :)
Today I have a review for you all! A little while ago I was contacted by Maggie from KKCenterHK asking me if I'd like to review some of their products. obviously I jumped at the chance and went searching for a product :) I finally settled on some Water Decals and of course they had to be Hello Kitty! Here's the link if you'd like to purchase these stickers: http://www.kkcenterhk.com/Nail-Water-Decals-Cartoon/c106_146/p6207/N.NAIL-Hello-Kitty-Water-Decals-Nail-Art-WDSY207/product_info.html

 Here's how they came to me...

 

The above picture shows the sticker sheet after I'd cut some out, I was so excited! :P This sheet contained 24 stickers of Hello Kitty in different poses etc. they are so cute! I decided to choose a coordinating colour for my nails and painted them purple...

 I used three coats of Ciate Purple Sherbet as my base for all nails except my ring finger which I used China Glaze Octa Gone Wild.

I cut out the stickers I wanted to use after I'd painted my nails and removed the top plastic sheet tha covered them. After this I ran them under some water and left them alone for a few seconds. They then would be easy to remove from the backing paper, I picked it up with my finger and positioned the sticker onto my nail easily and then added top coat to secure the sticker.

These Water Decals are seriously the easiest things ever to apply, they took me around 30 seconds to remove the top sheet, wet and apply to my nail. I'm so impressed by the quality of them and will definitely be buying more in different designs. I highly recommend that if you want quality water decal stickers in many designs to check out KKCenterHK :)

Have you tried any water decals before? Did you find them easy to apply? let me know in the comments :)
